Seite 33 - Its fluctuations, and its vast concerns? Here runs the mountainous and craggy ridge That tempts Ambition. On the summit, see The seals of office glitter in his eyes ; He climbs, he pants, he grasps them ! At...
Seite 38 - The punishment generally consists in the criminal providing a libation, by which the offending workmen may wash away the stain that his misconduct has laid upon the body at large.
